Characterization

We offer mechanical and chemical characterization of surfaces as part of our service. We offer characterization of a number of different materials for the customer, whether it be the silicon, steel, ToolGloss® or MoldGrfx® coatings, nickel, polymer foils or plates.

Our team is trained in using a range of techniques such as:

Surface topography

Secondary electron microscopy (SEM)

Atomic force microscopy (AFM)

Mechanical and optical profilometry

Confocal microscopy

Film thickness

Ellipsometry

Chemical characterization

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS)

Wetting / Surface energy

Contact angle measurements

Inmold services

We offer services throughout the entire value-chain from the design of a hologram or another functional nano- and/or microstructure, to the fabrication of master commonly made in silicon further to production of the final functional polymer foil.
